actually, if Ricky does decide to come back we may have to release him. If Im not mistaken, Ricky's salary is around 3 million. Im not sure taking that kind of cap hit would be worth having Ricky on the team, especially when we now have Ronnie Brown.
Ricky could probably gain a few more yds than Brown..at least this year...but could he gain 3 million dollars worth of yards over what Brown could give us?
Also, would we really want to tie up that much cap space when we have no idea if Ricky would choose to play the entire season, or if Ricky would get suspended for drugs again? It doesnt really matter why Ricky did what he did. Mental illness, physical problems, drug use, just being irresponsible, whatever. The fact remains that he did quit, and based on his recent attitude, there is no reason to believe he wouldnt do it again. If Ricky wants to renegotiate his contract so that he is making the league minimum then perhaps he has value. That way, the team would not be risking a 3mill cap hit for a player that has proven he wont hesitate to quit if the urge strikes him, and it gives Ricky a chance to redeem himself and raise his value in F/A.
